TCP/IP Illustrated: v. 3: TCP for Transactions, HTTP, NNTP and the Unix Domain Protocols (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)

very good series

another great book by Richard Stevens.

Very good quality. The book looks like new

Excellent transsaction

If you are planning on writing any software for the web, this is one of the books you need. This book covers T/TCP, HTTP, NNTP, and more including UD Protocols and some good info in the appendix. W. Richard Stevens has never let me down with any of his books, and this one is no diffrent. Its too bad hes not around to write books any more, alot of people will be missing out on great books from a great author. This is a must have!!

Stevens's writing is a model of clarity and conciseness, but there's little here to interest anyone today, unlike volume 1 or even volume 2. The bulk of the text is devoted to T/TCP, which never really got adopted outside of the BSD's, probably because of its security issues that later arose. The section on HTTP is brief and only covers HTTP/1.0. NNTP is little more than a historical curiosity today (and only warrants a few pages here anyway, so I'm not sure why it got cover treatment). The treatment of domain sockets is decent, but if you have AUP or Stevens' Network API books, you have a better treatment already.

I bought this book to complete my network set. I have volume one and two and the unix programming book.

After having read volumes I & II, I felt compelled to read volume III in spite of other customer reviews here. Having just finished this one, I'm inclined to agree with the other reviewers - interesting, but not as earth-shattering as the first two. The first half of the book covers, in volume-II style detail, an implementation of T/TCP for BSD; although this is interesting, it's not very practical, since T/TCP never caught on in the real world. The next part of the book covers HTTP & NNTP, but doesn't go into much detail; if you know what HTTP & NTTP are, you probably already know all the material covered in this book. Finally, the book ends by examining the BSD implementation of the Unix domain sockets. This last bit was the most relevant part of the book, but don't even think about trying to read this if you haven't completed volume II (and have it handy - the text refers back to specific pages and diagrams from Volume II). If you've read the other two books (Volume II in particular), you'll want to read this one to round out the experience, but don't expect to be blown away like you were with the others.

As I said this is a very useful book for the topic.
